How many of you are watching the NFL playoffs? I'm a Chiefs fan since birth so don't mind me just being stressed every time they take the field. Here's to hoping for a championship win with a little less drama than last week's game.

I got some new pens this week and I have been mayyyybe delaying writing on the computer and pretending to outline things for my books that I already know just because I want to use these pens. I'm a sucker when it comes to new notebooks and highlighters and pens. And maybe I put a few new pages in my Passion Planner so I could write my favorite quotes from books I'm reading this year (Goodreads)... I don't have an obsession, what are you talking about?

The Shadow's Grasp

This week on the blog:

Get to know the author - I've collected questions received over the years that are scattered across social media and my newsletter and put them in a convenient spot. Learn a bit about my WIPs and some of the writing quirks I have. Also includes some 'things to look for' in my books to add a little flavor to your reading experience!

Memes / Tumblr posts of the week:

Fun fact - I act out sword fights with a tripod. Also, I'm afraid to write in public because I make the faces my characters make just to be sure I'm describing them correctly.

WIP:

As a reminder, all of the prequel stories for The Curse of Broken Shadows are being released on Patreon for you to read. Starting in a few weeks, I'll be dropping the unedited chapters of Star Supernova (book 2 in the Star trilogy and book 5 in the Blue Star series). That's where this little snippet comes from this week!

Featuring an unedited cut from first chapter of Star Supernova... from Declan's perspective! If you wondered how he escaped at the end of Star Collapsed, you're going to find out... and you'll see how those events lead to the start of the second book and the dramatic reveal we find in the first few chapters!

Outro:

Question of the week: how many notebooks/planners do you own that are completely empty because they are too beautiful to be touched with incomplete ideas and you just haven't found the right thing to put inside?

My answer: fifteen within my sight as I sit at my desk. Please don't open the closet in my office. I swear I'm a minimalist.

Sending you love, kindness, and peace for wherever you are right now.
